Beauregard told the Kalamazoo Gazette shortly before 8 p.m. the report was not true.

“That is not true whatsoever,” Beauregard said. “I have not interviewed one candidate. How that information gets out and how they do it I have no idea, but it is not true. He is obviously a viable candidate, but we’ve done nothing at all yet. We haven’t talked to anybody.”

The website's Twitter account @footballscoop Tweeted "Strong indications that Indiana State head coach Trent Miles is close to being named head coach at Western Michigan" at 6:35 p.m.

At 6:55 p.m., FootballScoop Staff Tweeted “Have confirmed that Trent Miles will be the new head coach at Western Michigan.”
